9. Returns and Substitutions (clause 9 only applies if you are a consumer)
9.1 If you are a consumer, you have a legal right to cancel a Contract under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 during the period set out below in sub-clause 9.3. This means that during the relevant period if you change your mind or decide for any other reason that you do not want to receive or keep a Product, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the Contract and receive a refund. Advice about your legal right to cancel the Contract is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.
9.2 However, this cancellation right does not apply in the case of any Products which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.
9.3 Your legal right to cancel a Contract starts from the date of the 'New Order' (the date on which we email you to confirm our acceptance of your order), which is when the Contract between us is formed. Your deadline for cancelling the Contract then depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered, as set out in the table below:
Your Contract
End of the cancellation period
Your Contract is for a single Product (which is not delivered in instalments on separate days).
The end date is the end of 14 days after the day on which you receive the Product.
Example: if we provide you with an 'New Order' on 1 January and you receive the Product on 10 January you may cancel at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 24 January.
Your Contract is for either of the following:
The end date is 14 days after the day on which you receive the last instalment of the Product or the last of the separate Products ordered.
Example: if we provide you with a 'New Order' on 1 January and you receive the first instalment of your Product or the first of your separate Products on 10 January and the last instalment or last separate Product on 15 January you may cancel in respect of all instalments and any or all of the separate Products at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 29 January.
Your Contract is for the regular delivery of a Product over a set period.
The end date is 14 days after the day on which you receive the first delivery of the Products.
Example: if we provide you with an 'New Order' on 1 January in respect of Products to be delivered at regular intervals over a year and you receive the first delivery of your Product on 10 January, you may cancel at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 24 January. 24 January is the last day of the cancellation period in respect of all Products to arrive during the year.
9.4 Cancellations made within 24 hours of the time noted on the 'New Order' will be refunded in full, in accordance with sub-clause 9.1, however for cancellations made after the expiration of 24 hours of the time noted on the 'New Order' we reserve the right to recover any reasonable costs incurred with regards to labour, materials and administration fees.
9.5 This returns policy is limited to items that have not been customised from their original state as displayed on our website (please contact us to discuss this further, as management has the ability to waive these limitations on a case by case basis. In the unlikely event that the Product turns out to be faulty, damaged or different from those you ordered, we will repair the item free of charge or refund the item in full).
9.6 Returns of orders will be confirmed only where you have returned the item in its original condition, unworn and together with its original packaging and certificate where applicable. Non-return of the certificate will be charged at £100 for a replacement certificate and you may be charged an additional replacement cost for packaging and any other collateral material. You will need to bear the costs of shipment and insurance.
9.7 Should you not like the Product we will arrange to remount the diamond (where one or more were selected) in a design of their choice, without charge, save for any additional metal, diamonds or labour required and a nominal £50 administration and processing charge.
9.8 All returned Products are subject to verification and authentication by our team. A Product with any element of personalisation, engraving, bespoke items, designs by or for the client, may be considered for return and refund on a case-by-case basis. For Health and Safety reasons, earrings cannot be returned. For security reasons we recommend that you do not use the name Hatton By Design anywhere on the packaging of your returned. To arrange a return we would require you to contact our Customer Services either by calling 0330 022 0441 or by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
9.9 The Product remains our property until it has been paid for in full. In case you receive goods you have not paid for and you are requested to return the same to us, you have to do so immediately without delays. We will incur the costs of delivery but may charge you interest in the amount of 2% above the WorldPay rate to be calculated form the day you have received the goods.
9.10 Because you are a consumer, we are under a legal duty to supply a Product that is in conformity with this Contract. As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to a Product that is faulty or not as described. These legal rights are not affected by your right of return and refund in this clause 9 or anything else in these Terms. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.
10. Delivery
10.1 Estimated timescales are specified when you place an order. We will endeavour to deliver the Product within the estimated timescales; however delays are occasionally inevitable due to unforeseen factors. We will not be held liable for any delay or failure to deliver the Product within an estimated timescale. Occasionally our delivery to you may be affected by an Event Outside Our Control (see clause 16 for our responsibilities when this happens).
10.2 Orders can be collected by hand, directly from us at our office, with an appropriate proof of Identity such as passport or driving license.
10.3 Risk of loss and damage of a Product passes to you after the item has been delivered to you.
10.4 If no one is available at your address to take delivery, we will leave you a note that the Product has been returned to our premises, in which case, please contact us to rearrange delivery.
10.5 Delivery of an Order shall be completed when we deliver the Product to the address you gave us or you or a carrier organised by you collect them from us and the Product will be your responsibility from that time.
10.6 You will own the Product once we have received payment in full, including all applicable delivery charges.
(This sub-clause 10.7 only applies if you are a consumer.)
10.7 If we miss the delivery deadline for a Product then you may cancel your Order straight away if any of the following apply:
(a) We have refused to deliver the Product;
(b) Delivery within the delivery deadline was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances); or
(c) You told us before we accepted your order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential.
10.8 If you do not wish to cancel your order straight away, or do not have the right to do so under sub-clause 10.7, you can give us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can cancel your Order if we do not meet the new deadline.
10.9 If you do choose to cancel your Order for late delivery under sub-clauses 10.8 or 10.9, you can do so for just some of the Products or all of them, unless splitting them up would significantly reduce their value. If the Product has been delivered to you, you will have to return it to us or allow us to collect it, and we will pay the costs of this. After you cancel your Order we will refund any sums you have paid to us for the cancelled Product and its delivery.
11. International delivery or non available
We currently only deliver to addresses in the United Kingdom.
12. Price of products and delivery charges
12.1 The prices of the Products will be as quoted on our site at the time you submit your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices of Products are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. However please see sub-clause 12.5 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of Product(s) you ordered.
12.2 Prices for our Products may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order you have already placed.
12.3 The price of a Product includes VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being.

12.4 The price of a Product does not include delivery charges. Our delivery charges are as advised to you during the check-out process, before you confirm your order.
12.5 Our site contains a large number of Products. It is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts some of the Products on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that:
(a) Where the Product's correct price is less than the price stated on our site, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Products to you. However, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing, we do not have to provide the Products to you at the incorrect (lower) price; and
(b) If the Product's correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will contact you as soon as possible to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Product at the correct price or cancelling your order. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing.
13. Our warranty for the Products
13.1 For Products which do not have a manufacturer's guarantee, we provide a warranty that on delivery and for a period of 12 months from delivery, the Products shall be free from material defects. However, this warranty does not apply in the circumstances described in sub-clause 13.2.

The late 12th century keep stands on the site of the Roman fort of Brovacum but by 1269 the castle was allowed to fall into decay. A licence to crenelate was granted in 1309 to protect against Scottish invaders at which time the curtain walls were built. Left in poor condition it was rebuilt in the 16th century but its defences were destroyed in 1648 during the Civil War. It was restored in 1660 by Lady Clifford, who also owned Appleby, Brough, Pendragon and Skipton castles, but has since been left to decay, some stone being used for Appleby Castle. The earthworks of the Roman fort can still be seen.

City of Arlington unveils public Wi-Fi hotspot
A city of Arlington free Wi-Fi hotspot will be unleashed to the public at the Arlington Viking Festival on Saturday, Oct. 1. This is the first free hotspot implemented by the City of Arlington and is a result of the America's Best Communities competition.
Arlington and Darrington planned to install a wireless hotspot in each community as part of an initiative to encourage future access to broadband in the communities. Darrington has installed their hotspot in Old School Park. Arlington's hotspot will be located at 323 N. Olympic Avenue, known as the Merchant's Parking Lot.
City staff will be hosting a pop up park at the Wi-Fi hotspot during the Viking Festival. Staff will be available to assist internet users at the event and will be showing the benefits of having a Wi-Fi zone in the downtown business district.
By creating a public Wi-Fi hotspot, we are improving access to the internet. Citizens will be able to connect to the internet for education, professional purposes, job hunting, health advice, social networking, shopping, directions, and more! Visitors may find that their downtown experience is enhanced by the services we are providing.
The city would like to thank the sponsors of the America's Best Communities Competition including Frontier Communications, Dish Network, Co Bank and The Weather Channel for the funding to complete this project. Ken Baldwin, Frontier General Manager, worked closely with Arlington and Darrington team leads to implement the Wi-Fi hotspots.

Editorial Comment.
I received very few responses to my call for readers to contact me with regard to taking Civil Action against the Government because it seemed apparent that Brexit was being betrayed by the Government.
Well, that has now happened. May has ensured that Britain will not leave the EU but be held in an agreement to COMPROMISE Britain's sovereignty in Ireland; CONTINUE to pay into the EU and FOLLOW ITS RULES without any representation in Europe. In other words, she is signing Britain up for a 'SOFT BREXIT' that will only please the Corporations and do nothing for the plight of the ordinary people that voted to leave the EU.
THERESA May has been hailed for her negotiation of the Brexit deal having pledged to guarantee there will be no hard border in Ireland – but Brexiteers may not be entirely happy with the latest 'step forward'
This does however raise the question as to the relationship between the EU and the rest of the UK if a 'special deal' for Northern Ireland is allowed.
The report adds: "The United Kingdom's intention is to achieve these objectives through the overall EU-UK relationship. Should this not be possible, the United Kingdom will propose specific solutions to address the unique circumstances of the island of Ireland."
Theresa May has pledged her guarantee that there will be no hard border in Ireland
Mr Farage, who was pivotal in the Brexit campaign, tweeted this morning: "A deal in Brussels is good news for Mrs May as we can now move on to the next stage of humiliation."
The Prime Minister was upbeat as she sealed an agreement that is intended to push negotiations forward after claims "sufficient progress" was made on the issue of the Irish border.
Brexit deal: Clause 49 and 50 relating to the relationship between Ireland and Northern Ireland
Mrs Foster has now thrown her support behind the talks this morning saying that "substantial changes" to the text rejected on Monday would mean there was "no red line down the Irish Sea" in the form of a customs barrier between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK.
The addition of clause 50 which reads "the United Kingdom will continue to ensure the same unfettered access for Northern Ireland's businesses to the whole of the United Kingdom internal market" has served to allay fears on the DUP side.
"We're pleased to see those changes because for me it means there's no red line down the Irish sea and we have the very clear confirmation that the entirety of the United Kingdom is leaving the European Union, leaving the single market, leaving the customs union and I think that's a very important statement to have."
Ireland's deputy prime minister Simon Coveney said he was content at progress on the border
"Ireland supports Brexit negotiations moving to phase two now that we have secured assurances for all on the island of Ireland.
He said the deal "fully protected" the Good Friday Agreement, the peace process and an all-Ireland economy.
The Irish Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar, added that his government had achieved everything that they had wanted from talks.
Speaking at a press conference at 8.20am in Government Buildings in Dublin today he said: "We have achieved all that we set out to achieve in phase one of these negotiations.
"I am satisfied that sufficient progress has now been made on Irish issues, the parameters have now been set and they are good."
He said Ireland's focus would now move to phase two of the negotiations. Mr Varadkar said his government would remain "fully engaged and vigilant" throughout the process.
"This is not the end but it is the end of the beginning."
Mr Varadkar said he wanted to assure unionists of his motivations.
"There is no question of us trying to exploit Brexit to move toward Irish unity without consent."
The Irish prime minister Leo Varadkar said that his government had achieved everything they wanted
The leader said that, of particular importance, was that the Good Friday agreement had been protected.
He said that everyone born in Ireland would still have the right to Irish and EU citizenship.
And, the common travel area would continue allowing Irish people to travel freely between Northern Ireland and England.
Mr Varadkar said that the hard border would not exist and trade would also continue as Northern Ireland businesses would have "unfettered access to the UK."
He said: "Northern Ireland and Britain will not drift apart."
"We want free trade and free travel to continue as it has for the past 20 years."
"There'll be no hard border on our island and we will never again be left behind by the Irish government."
He thanked the British prime minister for her "careful concern of our issues."
Mrs May had previoulsy struggled to balance those demands against the concerns of the DUP which she relies on to support her government in Parliament.
Mrs May said that Northern Ireland had "a set of unique circumstances" because it has the UK's only land border with an EU country.
The border issue had threatened to derail the divorce talks.
We have achieved all we set out to achieve in Phase 1. This is not the end but it is the end of the beginning. The Good Friday Agreement is fully protected & the Common Travel Area will continue. The UK is committed to avoiding a hard border. #Brexit
A promise to "uphold and support Northern Ireland's status as an integral part of the United Kingdom."
A promise to "fully protect and maintain" Northern Ireland's position within the single market of the United Kingdom.
A pledge there will be no new borders within the U.K., and no hard border across the island of Ireland.
The fourth spells out in black and white that "the whole of the United Kingdom, including Northern Ireland, will leave the EU customs union and the EU single market."
A pledge to uphold the "commitments and safeguards" set out in the Belfast Agreement regarding North-South cooperation.
The sixth and final promise says no part of the U.K., including Northern Ireland, will remain subject to the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice.

Should You Renovate Before You Sell?Tuesday, April 20th, 2010
Learn Which Home Renovations Give You the Best Return
It's time to sell, and you want to get as much value from your Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, Parkland County or Edmonton area home as possible. What home improvements will make that happen?
Most people buying a home want to move into a property that looks new. If you've been thinking of selling your home, you've probably heard the following advice. Before you put your home on the real estate market, make all necessary minor repairs. Fix that dripping faucet, oil that creaky kitchen cupboard hinge, tack down that loose carpet edge. Give your home a thorough cleaning inside and out. Wash the floors and walls (including the insides of all cupboards and closets), get the carpets cleaned, shine all the windows and mirrors, and, above all, get rid of clutter so that your home looks as spacious and welcoming as possible.
But these are mostly cosmetic touches, much like a woman's eye shadow and lipstick when she goes out for the evening. What if your property needs the real estate equivalent of Botox injections or, worse, open heart surgery to bring it back to its brand new appearance and structure? If you invest the money to do major repairs, such as reshingling the roof, or to do major updates, like remodeling that ugly old bathroom, will you get your money back through a higher selling price?
The truth is – maybe, but more likely not. Renovating just before you sell is a risky proposition. Any improvements you make to your property may make it more attractive to buyers which may result in a faster sale – or even determine whether it sells at all. You may get a higher selling price than you would have before the renovations. But it turns out that most renovations will not increase the value of the property by 100% of the retail cost of professionally done renovations, with a couple of exceptions.
Ergil & Jackson Appraisals Ltd. (formerly Henderson & Butt) in their Home Renovation Guide include an extensive list of renovations together with the approximate cost, and the possible returns on investment in both percentages and dollar amounts. Their calculations are based on a hypothetical 1200 square foot bungalow located in the city of Edmonton and hiring out the work.
According to this guide, most renovation projects, small or large, will net you a return of only 50 to 75% of your investment.
New cedar shake shingles for your roof? Expect to lay out between $10,400 and $18,200. The return? Anywhere from 50 to 70%, or $5,200 to $12,740. Depending on the condition of the roof, it might be better to simply disclose to prospective buyers that the roof needs repair.
You've probably heard that kitchens and bathrooms sell homes. A bathroom remodel, using standard quality new fixtures, flooring and ceramic tile, might set you back between $10,000 and $16,000. But you'll get that back when you sell, won't you? Not according to the guide, which says this type of renovation will bring you a return of just 60 to 80%, or between $6,000 and $12,800. Doesn't seem worth it, does it?
And it gets worse, with some renovations giving you as low as a 0 to 10% return (adding a skylight, installing an alarm system, putting in a garburator or air conditioning). Some renovations, such as adding a sauna or an outdoor hot tub or swimming pool, might even make your property harder to sell!
So which renovations are the best compromise between making your home look its best and giving you a high return on your investment? Improvements that give you a return of at least 70% include:
- Exterior siding of artificial masonry brick: 70 to 100%
- New roof shingles (asphalt, rubber or metal): 70 to 90%
- Average quality kitchen remodel: 70 to 85%
- New furnace: 75 to 90%
- In-suite laundry added to condominium: 95 to 100%
- Electrical service upgrade: at least 90%
- Garage: 70 to 100%
Saving the best for last:
There is one renovation that will give you your money back, and then some. Good old-fashioned paint, one of the easiest and cheapest renovation projects, especially if you do it yourself, could give you back up to 110% of your investment. Watch for painting instructions and tips in future blog entries.
Check out Ergil & Jackson's other suggestions and advice.
***A word of caution about renovations in general: Remember that, whether you hire someone or do it yourself, the finished product must always look as though a professional did the work. If you are thinking about renovating before you sell, talk to your realtor about the kind of return you can expect for all your hard work.

Justin Bieber Shows Off Wet Sloppy Hairdo To Get Snapchat Followers — See Pic
Justin Bieber made a very interesting choice with his latest hairstyle, but it looks like the swoop is here to stay! The singer showed off his wet locks on Instagram all while asking fans to follow him on Snapchat.
Justin Bieber, 21, is a social media expert! As the popstar shared a moody looking selfie of himself sporting super damp hair on Sept. 1 via Instagram, he used his handsome looks to gain more followers on Snapchat! Take a look at his message to fans on Instagram here! To hear more about Justin Bieber, head over to iTunes and download the latest HollywoodLife podcast for free!
Who knew someone like Justin Bieber would need to ask fans to follow him on a social media app! But, this is a great way to gain followers for the "Boyfriend" singer. "Follow me on snapchat rickthesizzler," Justin wrote on Instagram, including his Snapchat username into the caption. Following JB on Snapchat, means fans will definitely be seeing more selfies and videos of his beautiful wet hair!
While Beliebers may be a fan of Justin's hair, the hosts of Fashion Police, maybe not so much. On the first episode of their return, Melissa Rivers, 47, introduced a new segment to the show titled, "What Would Joan Say?" Their first fashion victim? Justin, of course! The singer showed up to the MTV Video Music Awards on Aug. 30 with a longer-than-normal hairdo and both hosts and guest hosts came up with creative Joan-sayings in regards to Justin's hairstyle.
Justin Keeps His Long Mane Under Wraps At The MTV VMAs
Justin's hair was all out for the red carpet, but when it time came for his performance, the singer covered it all up with a baseball cap! Maybe he was afraid his hair would get in the way of his performance? Either way, Justin put on a great show during his set at the MTV VMAs on Aug. 30 and even cried at the end of it! Poor thing, he must've been so overwhelmed by the entire experience.
What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Are you feeling Justin's new 'do or no?

The ACE Compact Molding Machine…
A Technological breakthrough in Tight Flask Molding Design.
The ACE Compact Molding Machine is exploding the myths that have been associated with Tight Flask Molding. You have heard all the negatives; it's too large, too expensive, pit installation costs are too high, it's only financially affordable in a large volume operation, etc., etc. The new ACE Compact Molding Process is so unique that it is reducing all these problems you have associated with Tight Flask Molding. ACE represents a dramatic savings in equipment size, speed, sand use, energy savings and other factors that dramatically lower the overall cost of the equipment. ACE Compact Molding now makes Tight Flask Molding a realistic alternative for many foundries that are updating their foundry equipment.
Compact Size
The ACE Compact Machine is only 1/8 as large as comparable machines.
Minimal Pit area
ACE Molding Machines require no pit. Therefore, the pit area for the molding line is able to stay small and shallow. The total height of the molding machine above the level is only about 4mm.
Excellent Quality Molds
ACE is capable of producing thinner and lighter castings by minimizing the pattern draft. It produces superior quality molds with uniform density and high strength. Excellent drawability.
Energy Saving
Energy consumption is reduced by 63% in CO2 equivalent. Greatly contributing to the curtailment of running cost.
Low Noise
Actualized 75dB(A) in equivalent noise level. Comfortable working environment without vibration.
Splashing of parting agent is prevented
As the parting agent spray is performed inside the sealed molding flask, there is no splashing of parting agent. The consumption is reduced to 1/2.
Reduces Spill Sand
Spill sand during sand filling is literally "0". The volume of sand required for filling a mold is precisely controlled by a "feedback" system so that the sand scraped off from mold back face by the sand cutter is drastically reduced.

Fly-and-stay packages solve Costa Rica vacation planning challenges
Even the most experienced travelers often stumble over the travel logistics of getting from point A to B in Costa Rica – a country relative to the size of West Virginia. When steep cloud-encrusted mountain highways, frequent river-crossings and narrow one lane roads mix with hard rains and harder sunshine, they create less than favorable conditions for first-time drivers in the country.
While most independent travelers welcome an adventure, fitting a handful of Costa Rica's most beautiful landscapes into today's week-long vacations takes a bit of magic. That is why the team at Nature Air, the world's first carbon-neutral airline, decided to release a collection of fly-and-stay packages for Central American travelers. You focus on where you want to go, by selecting two or three of our 3-night "paquetes", and we promise to get you from point A to B in the most logical and time-efficient way possible.
By working with some of the top names in ecotourism, our goal is to educate tourists about sustainability and show that comfort and quality don't have to be sacrificed when it comes to traveling with a smaller carbon footprint. We hand-selected hotels that display superior social and environmental consciousness – as noted by both the Rainforest Alliance and Costa Rica's Certificate for Sustainable Tourism.
"Bringing sustainable travel options to clients is one of our priorities at the Rainforest Alliance, and what better way to do it than together with an airline that is committed to sustainability," said Ronald Sanabria, vice president of sustainable tourism at the Rainforest Alliance.
Each of the new Nature Air packages includes round-trip airfare from San José, Costa Rica, ground transportation from the airport to the hotel, a three-night stay in a deluxe and sustainable accommodation, breakfast each day and applicable taxes. You choose the date, the destination and preferred hotel from our list of green accommodations, and then leave the hard part to us. Destinations include hotspots like Arenal, Manuel Antonio, the Osa Peninsula and Guanacaste – and off-the-beaten-track gems like Bocas del Toro, Nicaragua, the Nicoya Peninsula and the Caribbean coast.
For complete details of Nature Air's new, combinable fly-and-stay sustainable packages, including destinations and prices, view their vacation packages page.

In the end, if I really wanted to pursue this, I ended up having to just buy everything. I knew BIAS at least sounds good, workflow and features lack not withstanding, so I bought all their bundles, I also grabbed Ampkit, but I kept running into mentions of Tonestack.
To break down what I really expected of the software, lets see:
#1: All the basic FX: Amp, dynamics, wah, EQ, time based FX, LFO's, speaker cabinets,pitch shifters and harmonizers (not asking for the moon, this is all easily doable on computers not as powerful as an iPhone 5)
#2 The ability to control all these tones with MIDI
#3 Sensible routing and utilities: Tuners, MIDI map editors, CC editors, mixers and splitters, level controls, preset management, and I/O functions for dealing with the outside world
If I wanted to be a real stickler for #1, as far as I know, the only possible choice is Tonestack. Thankfully, their developer let me know what was in each bundle, but I ended up buying all the bundles anyway…Lots of goodies in there!
Not being initially too thrilled with the actual amp and especially speaker models in Tonestack, I kept loading up the different BIAS apps for basic tones. I was often rewarded with good sounding amps, and kind of bummed about the lack of FX. What was really unnerving was the insane feedback and noise I would get from some of the higher gain amps in all of the available apps. I would soon learn this is just a side effect of using the headphone jack as the I/O port. (Yeah, you vets were waiting for me to get to that part and were probably laughing the whole way through)
I have to say right here, that, in terms of features and included FX, Tonestack is very much closer to what I expected Amplitube iOS to be.
Upon being able to get borderline acceptable basic tones in all of the apps, I moved onto #2, control
What would surely be a basic starting point is a clean sound and a distorted sound. So In each app I made a clean preset and a dirty preset. No problem. Time to fire up the Blueboard and test it out! The Blueboard app seemed pretty simple to use, and it ended up connecting to each guitar app no problem.
So first, Amplitube. I figure, this is the app the Blueboard is made for, so lets see what it can do….Play some clean chords and hit the switch to the dirty sound…and BONK! Some weird noise burst and then wait….and wait….and wait…and yeah, finally, a few measures worth of time later, there's the dirty sound. Hmmm…well, no problem I figured, probably just had to load both sounds into memory or something, so I hit the switch to jump back to clean. BONK! There's the burst again…and wait….and wait….and wait…and finally, back to the clean sound. Ok so *in song* preset switching was not going to work in Amplitube. Let's try the others

'Lifting With Arnold' On Snapchat Is Gold
We all know that the baby boomers have taken over Facebook, but Snapchat is a whole 'nother beast.
But when it comes to the youth-dominated social platform, 69-year old actor, politician, and bodybuilding legend Arnold Schwarzenegger is an absolute legend.
SEE ALSO:Things You Didn't Know About Arnold Schwarzenegger
Just yesterday, Arnold took over Snapchat uploading a story called "Lifting With Arnold," answering all his fans questions.
I've taken over your @Snapchat. Don't miss "Lifting with Arnold" for questions, answers, fun and schnitzel. pic.twitter.com/L9Kgub45vB
— Arnold (@Schwarzenegger) February 8, 2017
Have you ever wondered if 'The Austrian Oak' can dance? Does the 'Governator' jam to T-Swift? What does 'Arnie' hate most?
Well, the cigar-toting Schwarzenegger answered a few of these and more. With the video featuring the likes of Kevin Hart, four-time NFL Pro Bowler JJ Watt, and eight-time Olympic Champion Apolo Ohno, it is worth the watch.

Hi Amy! What were you doing before you joined the Heyday family?
I was an educator for many years at the Dermalogica Academy, which was an esthetician school in New York City. Prior to that I was a makeup artist, and worked for lots of brands, including Estée Lauder and MAC. I've done fashion week, editorial work, I've traveled...I've done lots of amazing things within the industry, but skin has always called my name. It was really interesting to think about the different ways I can help fix skin issues, rather than cover them up. I loved finding that beautiful understanding of how different ingredients can positively impact the skin, it's my passion!
At Heyday you're known as a walking encyclopedia when it comes to skin! If you could give someone one tip (just one!) on what you should do for your skin every single day, what would you tell them?
Just one? That's so hard! If I could only offer one tip, I would simply say SPF. SPF will protect anyone from the damages of the sun, and not just for the cosmetic side of it (i.e. avoiding wrinkles and pigmentation), but it will protect you from skin cancer. I've heard people say they only use it when they're spending the day at the beach or the park, but you really do need it everyday, all year around, even on a cloudy day. Wow, I can't believe you're only letting me choose one!
I know you're a skin expert, but Is there one big skin skin-related mistake you've made that you regret (that you don't mind sharing with me and our readers)?
Oh my goodness, absolutely! Alright, it's confession time. Prior to knowing what I know now, the mistake I often made was that I was the Queen Cherry Picker, meaning I would try anything that was out there. When I was a makeup artist I would try everything on my skin, and a lot of it...well (laughs), it didn't end well. If I could teach my younger self something it would be to try less products on my face just for the sake of trying them.
Is there one Heyday product that you just absolutely love and use all the time?
I love so many of them, but the one I use every single day on myself is the Olive Cleanser by Grown Alchemist (note: I'll link to product once the new shop is up and running!). It's a creamy, medium-weight cleanser that has a lot of hydrating, calming, and soothing ingredients. I love it because it's actually the opposite of what I tend to go for-- I typically do gels or clays out of personal preference-- but this cleanser is a favorite because it gives my skin a smooth finish and leaves me feeling very clean!
Skin is one of your biggest passions in life. What are your other passions?
One of my oldest passions is painting. I love art history and different mediums of artistic creation. I also love comic books, and have been collecting them for a very long time! I'm a Marvel girl all the way! (Editor's note: Before the interview, Amy told me she had seen the new Marvel movie, Logan, 4 times in one weekend! If you need a buddy to discuss Wolverine with, she's the Therapist for you). My children are my passion. I'm obsessed with them-- I have two! And travel. I've made it a priority throughout my life, and I think it's impacted the way I approach my relationship with my clients. I've come out of my traveling with a deep respect for the differences that makes each person unique. I enjoy the differences that, in a sense, connect all of us, and caring for your skin and it's specific needs is one of them!
Where is your favorite place that you've traveled?
I love Puerto Rico. I could stay in Culebra forever and watch the sun rise and set. If I had to pick somewhere a little farther, I would say Barcelona! Spain has a beautiful architecture, history, food and music. I really like flamenco dancing – my mother was a flamenco dancer! My dad was a bullfighter, so I have some connection there, too. I love the world – anywhere I go, I always end up falling in love. I could talk about anywhere, anyplace!
You're parents story sounds so lovely and romantic. Are they from Barcelona?
No, my mother is from Ecuador. She started flamenco dancing at a young age, just happened to meet a bullfighter, and that's how that happened!
That's a fantastic "How did they meet?" story.
Right?! It's a great story. I hope my kids think my story is just as interesting. My husband and I both went to an art high school – he was a breakdancer, and at the time, I belly danced! We've known each other for a long time, so when people ask "How did you two meet?" my short answer is "We've been together since before the dinosaurs."
Wow – another fantastic story! There is dancing in both generations!
Yes, there is!
All right – last question. What is your very favorite thing about being a part of the Heyday team?
My favorite part is the energy of the therapists! You can hear them all speaking so passionately to their clients in the shop. There is a unifying energy between the team as well – we all love sharing our passion for skin with each other and the clients. We are, truly, so excited about skin and teaching our clients about skin. We learn from each other, and there is always conversation happening. We're not just "steaming and creaming."
I love that phrase – steaming and screaming – because I can immediately think of times where I've experienced that service firsthand.
Yes, that happens, but not here. At Heyday we teach clients about their skin, help them achieve their goals, and assist in setting real expectations. It's about keeping the integrity of the skin and keeping it healthy. We want you to walk away with an education, too!

New restaurant with a lounge feel serving up tapas is now open in the Lower East Side!
The Delilah is new to the Lower East Side scene, and boasts great cocktails, large booths for big groups of friends, and an extensive tapas style menu.
Apparently I'm easily won over by small gimmicks, because my favorite part of the night was receiving this cocktail with candy legos on top. My friend and I loved it so much that she asked for one to be put in her drink too!
Apparently I'm easily won over by small gimmicks, because my favorite part of the night was receiving this cocktail with candy legos on top. My friend and I loved it so much that she asked for one to be put in her drink too!
I love starting a dinner off with a nice charcuterie board to go with wine or cocktails, so we went with the Chefs Board with a nice assortment of cheese, meats, apples, pears, and other bites:
One of my favorite small plates of the night was their Kale & Cabbage salad. It might be because this is how I make my kale salads at home, topping it with pomegranate seeds and some manchego cheese. I will say, though, it was a bit overpriced at $11 for the portion size:
Trying to keep things healthy, I also went for the Crispy Brussel Sprouts with pickled onions and a smoked paprika salt, which were very crispy and flavorful:
The only item I didn't enjoy were the Roasted Garlic Baby Prawns. My expectations for garlic shrimp are pretty high, given that my family likes to frequent authentic Spanish restaurants in Newark or Dover, New Jersey that have some really amazing food. These, however, did not stand up to my high bar:
I love a good carb, and these Patatas Bravas in spicy tomato sauce drizzled with a garlic aioli were right up my alley. Seriously I couldn't stop eating these..
Lastly, we got the Filet Mignon Skewers with zucchini and red pepper in an herb dressing. Tender, flavorful, and delicious...but again, the price was a bit hefty at $16 for two small skewers:
Overall, I enjoyed most of the dishes I ordered, the cocktails were nice and strong (get your moneys worth!), the vibe was very cool, dark and lounge-y, and the staff were very friendly. Good place to stop by for some apps with friends over a cocktail.

Think of education and you think of youth. Institutional learning is a preface to work – something you dedicate anywhere between the first 16 and 25 or so years of your life to and then leave behind for good, to enter the world of work until you reach retirement.
That's the traditional way of thinking. But there's no reason why education should be denied to people later in life – in fact, if older people want to keep their knowledge and skills on a level with their younger colleagues, it may even be necessary for them to continue to learn new skills and update their knowledge in order to keep up.
This fact is reflected in the government's decision last month to abolish the age restriction on student loans. Previously loans were only available to people up to the age of 54; now there is no restriction, so a 65-year-old pensioner is able to borrow money to study a degree just as an 18-year-old college-leaver is.
But with many people now working long into their sixties, it's simply not possible for the average sixty-something to commit three years to studying a degree in a traditional university setting. For the typical 65-year-old, learning has to be done in a way that allows them to continue to work – in a way that doesn't necessitate regular attendance of classes or lectures during working hours.
For these people distance learning is the perfect solution – there's no more flexible way to gain a new qualification or to pursue a long-held interest than by studying at home.
NEC was set up with people like this in mind, and has courses to support lifelong learning for students regardless of their age or the stage of their career they're at. We offer professional qualifications, A levels and GCSEs/IGCSEs, as well as more special-interest courses in counselling and the arts, perfect for people who want to learn something new but aren't looking for a qualification at the end of their course.
By 2033, one in four people in the UK will be aged over 65. There's no reason at all why this sizeable portion of the population shouldn't have as easy access to education as everyone else. Learning and full-time work do not have to be mutually exclusive, and NEC is proud to enable study for people regardless of their age.

Two People Killed During Filming of New Tom Cruise Movie
Associated Press - by Joshua Goodman
A small plane assigned to the crew of a movie starring Tom Cruise crashed in Colombia on Friday, killing two people, including a Los Angeles-based film pilot, and seriously injuring a third, the country's civilian aviation authority said.
An official with the aviation agency, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter, said Cruise was not on the aircraft.
The official said an American, Alan Purwin, was killed along with the Colombian Carlos Berl. A third person aboard, American pilot Jimmy Lee Garland, was rushed to a hospital in Medellin.
The official said the twin-engine Aerostar ran into bad weather late Friday afternoon after taking off from the colonial town of Santa Fe de Antioquia for a short flight to Medellin.
Cruise, a trained pilot, arrived last month in Colombia to film a movie called Mena, about a pilot who worked for the late cocaine kingpin Pablo Escobar. (In an unfortunate coincidence, during shooting in Georgia in May, Cruise filmed a scene for the film involving a plane crash.)
Cruise's spokeswoman, Amanda Lundberg, had no comment.
Purwin was founder and president of the Los Angeles-based Helinet Technologies, a company providing aerial surveillance technology to law enforcement and government agencies. On the company's website, he's described as "one of the top film pilots of his generation" with a list of credits from television and major Hollywood movies such as Transformers, Pearl Harbor, and Pirates of the Caribbean.
Helinet's Vice President Jack Snyder declined to comment when contacted by The Associated Press.
Universal released the following statement: "An aircraft carrying crew members crashed while returning to Enrique Olaya Herrera Airport in Medellin following production wrap on the film Mena resulting in two fatalities.
"Further details are not available at this time. On behalf of the production, our hearts and prayers go out to the crew members and their families at this difficult time."

Melbourne Is Paying "Unusually High" Prices For Electricity And Gas
Not good enough
Victorians are paying, on average, 21 per cent more than they need to for electricity and gas.
Government research found prices in Australia were "unusually high" compared to elsewhere in Australia, saying there was "evidence of market failure".
It found the "retailer charge" — costs, marketing and profit — typically makes up 30 per cent of a household electricity bill, more than producing or distributing electricity.
